I checked out the registry before and now did it again at your specified location, nope, only some settings are there... I mean how long it takes before it should start, the wallpaper etc, but no SCRNSAVE.EXE. I did find this in the system.ini file and it appears to to change when I change the screensave. Maybe I should change that using the TIni object ? AnyWay I checked the site ziffnab proposed and found it should be in the ini file. Thanks ziffnab and d003303 ! CU!
